Week #2

I was in such a panic I forgot to post the lyrics, in case you would like to see them here they are, late!

Love Overcome by DougTaylorBand

Intro

Love Overcome. Love Overcome Love Overcome. Love Overcome

Love

Verse

A lesson I take home from school

I learned today how much I love you

I want to tell you, how you touch my soul

Whenever you’re near me it feels like home

 

Sitting next to me, how love distracts

Concentrate? I can’t! It’s a fact

Notion us together, it makes me high

I think of you, loves intensifies

Chorus

Today I’ll let love overcome

Today our hearts will pump as one

Today I’ll let love overcome

Melt in our love, yes overcome

 

Love Overcome. Love Overcome Love Overcome. Love Overcome

Love

Verse

Warm Long seconds pass the time

As I daydream, love is mine

Face to face and voice to voice

Express this love! It is my choice

Chorus

(as above Chorus)

 

Love

Bridge

I told my love and we said yes

We laughed together, oh what bliss

We touched today, right on the lips

Drunk in this love, sip by sip

Verse

A lesson I did learn from school

I learned today you love me too

Oh yes yeah do

Yeah love me like I love you

Chorus 3x

Today I let love overcome

Today our hearts do (beat 1x) pump as one

Today I let love overcome

Melt in our love, yes overcome………. Melt in our love overcome (last x)

and my original blog, found it

Well this week was the first time for me to have only had a week to write, record and send it off to a “real deal” professional like Rob Wells! I have written many songs in one day for myself to hear or have family and friends listen to but knowing they was a potential audience of over a hundred that were also song writers! Well it really put the process into a new perspective for me. I have been a write when my muse inspires type of songwriter. So to write a song with the guidelines as length, type of singer(not me!), sound of artist and genre was challenging indeed. To choose a topic that 13-19 year olds could relate to and believe enough to be touched emotionally when sung by a female artist was indeed not a one day song write.

I write in a very sincere and real way but how do I do that speaking from the mind of a teenager and from the view point of the teller, a female. I am no teenager and a man. The challenging part was to be that female teenager and not have it sound contrived, unfeeling or too mechanical. Luckily I was a teenager once involved with love and had sisters who also had their dramas.

So I went back in time in my mind and the amazing thing is when feelings come back they are in the here and now. Well I used that to the best of my ability. This is what came out of me, as a imagined teenaged girl. And to be honest I was a teenage boy when this lyrics based on real life happened.

I call it “Love Overcome”
